Here comes the MSM Santorum-Pukefest: Sleeveless and V-Necked, Santorum’s Sweaters Are Turning Heads



PERRY, Iowa — Rick Santorum is definitely pro-traditional sweater.

It’s just that in Iowa, he happens to like a smart, sleeveless V-neck number.

Crewnecks, with their neck-hugging collars, aren’t suitable for stuffy rooms crammed with voters who have little respect for personal space. Cardigans? Not his thing.

Mr. Santorum prefers the sweater vest, that sensible, traditional choice of grandfathers and college football coaches. He owns them in navy blue, gray and tan, which he sported here on Monday for a voter meet-and-greet. Sensing they were seeing a political fashion statement in the making, members of his staff recently ordered vests embroidered with the Santorum campaign logo.

Yes of course when being forced to touch the peasants, and to breathe their tainted air, it's nice to be able to change your clothes often afterwards. Those "smart" sweaters are just SO handy for such occasions.

But his clothes are the least repulsive thing about Rick Santorum.

as restricted as with a cardigan or sport coat. If I do want to look a little more dressy I will wear a sport coat. So shoot me. I like to be comfortable. I don't give a rip what Ricky Santorum wears.

I guess my gut reaction was to the fawning of the MSM about Santorum's "look" as if he were some kind of trendsetter. I wish they would pay more attention to his character.

It was the 60s and I was in grade school.

Wait for the turtle neck dickies to reappear as The McConnell.

I just don't feel comfortable wearing the Santorum Style.

Especially the brown ones.
